  2. Coefficient of variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_variation

    In probability theory and statistics, the coefficient of variation (CV), also known as normalized root-mean-square deviation (NRMSD), percent RMS, and relative standard deviation (RSD), is a standardized measure of dispersion of a probability distribution or frequency distribution.

  3. McKay's approximation for the coefficient of variation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McKay's_approximation_for...

    In statistics, McKay's approximation of the coefficient of variation is a statistic based on a sample from a normally distributed population. It was introduced in 1932 by A. T. McKay. [1] Statistical methods for the coefficient of variation often utilizes McKay's approximation. [2] [3] [4] [5]

  4. Coefficient of determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_determination

    Ordinary least squares regression of Okun's law.Since the regression line does not miss any of the points by very much, the R 2 of the regression is relatively high.. In statistics, the coefficient of determination, denoted R 2 or r 2 and pronounced "R squared", is the proportion of the variation in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable(s).

  5. Efficiency (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficiency_(statistics)

    In estimating the mean of uncorrelated, identically distributed variables we can take advantage of the fact that the variance of the sum is the sum of the variances.In this case efficiency can be defined as the square of the coefficient of variation, i.e., [13]

  6. Index of dispersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_of_dispersion

    In probability theory and statistics, the index of dispersion, [1] dispersion index, coefficient of dispersion, relative variance, or variance-to-mean ratio (VMR), like the coefficient of variation, is a normalized measure of the dispersion of a probability distribution: it is a measure used to quantify whether a set of observed occurrences are clustered or dispersed compared to a standard ...

  7. Design effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_effect

    Notice that Kish's definition of the design effect is closely tied to the coefficient of variation (Kish also calls it relvariance or relvar for short [h]) of the weights (when using the uncorrected (population level) sample standard deviation for estimation). This has several notations in the literature: [9]: 191 [13]: 396

  8. Qualitative variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualitative_variation

    Several are standard statistics that are used elsewhere - range, standard deviation, variance, mean deviation, coefficient of variation, median absolute deviation, interquartile range and quartile deviation. In addition to these several statistics have been developed with nominal data in mind.

  9. Summary statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summary_statistics

    In descriptive statistics, summary statistics are used to summarize a set of observations, in order to communicate the largest amount of information as simply as possible. Statisticians commonly try to describe the observations in a measure of location, or central tendency, such as the arithmetic mean
